Subsídio para criação de uma biblioteca comunitária como estratégia de acesso à informação utilitária: caso Bairro Mulotana

Abstract

There has been a growing emergence of community libraries, resulting from individual or collective initiatives, which play an important role in the individual and collective development of the locality or community to which they belong. This research uses the descriptive method, and data collection was carried out through a questionnaire applied to 50 residents of the neighbourhood, as well as a semi-structured interview conducted with the secretary of the Mulotana neighbourhood and the head of the Administrative Secretary of the Mulotana locality, making a total sample of 52 participants. The study addresses the importance of information for society, especially through public libraries. It reflects on the creation and challenges of community libraries and their role in developing readers. It is concluded that the community library plays an important role in the democratization of information for society and that local authorities should provide physical and technological infrastructure
